Salt Lake corridor pickleball

It took awhile for pickleball to catch on along the sprawling Salt Lake urban corridor.  However, once it did, the rest is history.  Here's an excellent (and recent) look at the evolution and spread of pickleball in Utah's population center.

Prescott Courts finished April 28

Crews put the finishing touches on Prescott 8 new courts about noon on Friday, April 28, after barely 10 weeks of construction!  The public will not be allowed to play on the new courts until the parking lot is paved and the landscaping put in place.  Rumor has it May 5th might be "THE" day!
Michael Whitford supplied this drone photo taken in late afternoon, April 28.
Here is a great Prescott Daily Courier article describing the new courts:
